Whats your favorite type of Horror Movie?
 

Well, theres plenty of different subgenres to the terror that unites us all. But which do you prefer?

Heres some examples, incase that didnt explain well enough

Haunted House
Slasher
Alien
Zombie
Vampire

Ya get the picture;)

I, without a doubt, love the haunted stuff. Especially when it isnt necesarily "Ghosts", but the house/building itself is evil, driving those in the building to do things.

Examples:

The Shining
House on Haunted Hill [Both Versions, but the original had the eviler house]
Pit and the Pendulum [Not a typical Haunted House movie, but ya know what I mean]

my favorate horror movie Halloween is from the slasher genre but i prefer psychological horror now in my opinion that's stuff like Silence of the Lambs and The Shining i'm saying what my opinion of it is because i'm not exactly sure if there's such a thing as ''the psychological'' genre.

My favorite would have to be the demonic subgenre of horror. Case in point...The Exorcist. Millions upon millions of people believe that demonic forces exist. Just the possibility of it being real adds to the flavor of the movie.

tie between slasher and zombie

at this point they're all the same within the different subgenres (all the slashers are the same, all the psychological horror is the same, etc), so I'll watch whatever movie is good.

I used to have a soft spot for zombie movies and revenge exploitation, though.

GORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


but other than that...probly Hauntings. I prefer creepy over flat-out scary terrifying.

Vampiers are my fav. Then Zombies!!

Zombie

Ghosts.

Ringu
Sixth sense
One missed call
Ju-on 1-4
etc.

With other words ghost storys creepy as hell.

1. Vampires.....especially if there's plenty of sexy vamps :D

2. Haunted/ghosts

1) smart ones with an actual plot / story

2) vampire.

Zombies-Ghosts-Vampires-Werewolf-and Shark Films
So I guess Monster Movies

i think i'm going to slightly change my answer from just psychological to a tie for first between psychological and vampire with slasher a close second.

zombi ...
or anything strange and unique ..
(which is why I like Phantasm)

Well done ghost stories are hard to resist too (The Others, 6th Sense)

Same here. Love it when the house\building has a life of its own and fucks with the occupants.

Eg. - Poltergeist 1,3 and more that I can't think of now.

It's a tie between Slasher and Zombie flicks for me. What noone that I've seen has pointed out it that Slasher films tend to break down into two different genres that I've noticed. One is the supernatural slasher flick like Friday or Halloween where the killer has powers that keeps him from staying dead and the other is with mere mortal slashers such as Slumber party or Sorority house massacres. I like them both just fine.

Definitely ghost movies, but I generally like all horror genres. :cool:

Yeah I like all kinds but id prolly go with Slashers

ghosts, haunted houses, although i like a good gorefest now and then.

I'd have to go with the gore fest that are zombie movies.

Re: Whats your favorite type of Horror Movie?
 

I like many, but I'll list your list appropriatly to my preferances:

In 5th: Haunted House
In 4th: Vampire
In 3rd: Slasher
In 2nd: Alien
In 1st: Zombie

so yeah I'm a zombie lover.

That's exactly how i feel.

Aside from the Satan/Demon theme, anything Vincent Price is in. I'm also fond of zombie movies;)

I'd have to say slashers.. or the ones where the main characters go completely off the wall like me...

I think the Zombies have it !

interesting !

I love vampire movies and ghost horror movies. I also love movies where the building has a mind of it's own and messes with the people who are there.

Yeah like Amityville Horror. Well that was a HOUSE but it's the same thing.

Welcome to horror.com forums immortalem :cool:

Zombie with Slasher films a close second.
